Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We gave studied the crystallization behavior of 30BaO · 25Bi2O3 · 45B2O3 glasses doped with Eu2O3 to different levels. At a Eu2O3 content of 7 mol % or higher, the glasses undergo volume crystallization. The only precipitating phase is a solid solution between europium and bismuth oxides. With increasing europium concentration in the glass, the structure of the crystallites changes from cubic to rhombohedral. We have investigated the morphology, physicochemical properties, and luminescence spectra of the glasses and glass-ceramics.
